ially adopted. The 1963 at the bottom is the
date N.H.N.A. -was organized.

The state flower, purple lilac, is above
at the top of shield. The clasped hands show
one larger hand clasped around a smaller,
indicating friendshio snfl the encouragement
of junior members, by older members. Thirteen
st«rs in the center mean that B. H. was one of
I inal 13 oolenies. The lamp indicates know-
ledge and learning. E. Pluribus Unum means
From Many One , signifying uniting of many coin
clubs and individuals in one organizalion.
Superimposed on the sides of the shield are
the state emblem. Old Nan of the Mountain on
the right and on left the Moulton N.H. "cent".
